Business & Finance - 26 November 2007

I had my first interview with an accounting firm (with about 20 employees) on Oct. 3rd and a second interview on Nov. 5th. The second partner I interviewed with said I would be a good fit and more than capable of doing the work. I have been in contact with the firm and they say they are still really interested. How long does it normally take to get a job offer if they're as interested as they say they are? I only have 3 weeks of college left and I'm starting to get anxious. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I was in this accident which was the fault of the other driver. My er bill was over $37,000 and now her insurance company is saying that is all they can pay due to some limit. I do not have under insurance coverage with my own insurance to cover everything else. Now I owe $7,000 on my truck which was totaled. I am not getting any money for my lost wages, I have nothing to drive now at all, and I still owe money for the hospital bill itself. I just want to give up.

I am being sued for breaking a lease on a rent house. They are trying to place a judgement against me. I'm not even o sure what that does. Would you please explain it to me?

Sad part is, I never even had a key to this place and only stepped on the property once to view it. I paid the relet fee to break it, but the contract later has a clause stating that I may not be able to get out. I really thought I had done everything the right way and now I'm being sued for $7000.

I studied geology for a few years and know a geologist who is currently working in Antarctica. I also previously lived and worked overseas and know that for American expatriates, the first $70,000.00/yr is exempt from Federal income tax because expats are responsible for paying local taxes in a foreign country. From what he says, however, he must pay and said it was because per the United States Tax Code Antarctica is not a foreign country, therefore it is exempt from the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=97130,00.html

Last I heard, Antarctica was not a part of the U.S. Do Russian, French or scientists from other countries who are working in Antarctica have to pay taxes to their homeland?

If so what is the typical limit you can use on the card. You see this is my first time ever on getting a credit card. So im new to interest rates and all of that. But im planning on getting cosmetic surgery this december and i need some extra money so my mom told me to get a credit card to help pay off the rest. So i was wondering if you have to already have the money to use the credit card or do you just pay them back and what is the limit of money you can use on your card. Im planning on paying it all back once i get the money after christmas then i probably wont really use it that much other than here and there after im settled into a job.

I arrived to the USA 1 year ago and I opened a checkings account with my passport # and ITIN # at Washinhton Mutual.
Ive been overdrawn for a month already for $1000 and I think that account is going to be closed. At this moment Im going through a very hard financial time and I cant pay the debt off.

I have just been given my new work permit and Social Security # and I got my first credit card from Bank of America.
so the question is: If I dont pay the WM debt, will that affect my new credit, inclusively if they dont have my ssn and dont know I have one ?

Me and a friend on mine love computers, and know how to build them and most everything about them. We decided we wanted to build PCs for local people, posting them on craigslist brand new. Will we make any profit? Would we have to start repair business too just to get a decent amount of money?

We are not certified in any way, is it illegal to work on peoples PCs if we arent certified? Thanks.
